this is actually live from moscow m. in the russian capital. tensions are running high in greece over the state of the country's disintegrating economy labor unions are promising to bring more people onto the streets despite a police baton posed on protest ahead of a visit by german chancellor angela merkel seven thousand policemen have now been deployed in the city to ensure called merkel's visit is seen as crucial for the country's government as it has been given until next week to deliver on its promises to the international monetary fund if it wants to ensure its next bailout happens based attorney and professor of constitutional law at george could the rights of the greek people are being further eroding. the first something. because this. most versions of the first. to the. who. therefore the. food i think the show must go the book that the

appeared on these exclusive show for our team to find the full interview and the details on our website. for obama's rival for the u.s. presidency mitt romney has called for a more aggressive foreign policy in the middle east which would include arming the al-qaeda linked syrian rebels but democrats have had back saying romney stance lacks vision and consistency artie's garnished account has more. mitt romney accused president obama of quote sitting on the sidelines end of quote and not being aggressive enough on syria mr romney suggests actively arming the rebels with weapons that can bring down the aircraft the wall pangs he said quote the greater tragedy of it all is that we're missing a storage opportunity to win new friends who share our values in the middle east end of quote i saw this clip the other day and i wonder if this particular syrian rebel shares mitt romney's values but do i just want to send a sure message to america and many countries in the west we should let you know she

hasn't. shown we won't finish and so you want when you're. here and in on as we'll go on as you have done three nice into the new land and this time and i mean you raised on the one time well that was a jihadi flag there but mitt romney's other remarks suggested that maybe he doesn't really care about whose hands the weapons would end up in because the objective that he stated it was to defeat assad seeing it as a stepping stone to him rend iran is sending arms to assad because they know his downfall would be a strategic defeat for them we should be working no less vigorously to our international partners to support the many syrians who would deliver that defeat to iran rather than sitting on the sidelines so basically mitt romney suggested taking advantage of the crisis in syria to fulfill the goal of defeating iraq blatant but straightforward remark basically expressing the same opportunistic

approach to foreign policy with the u.s. has had for many years well obama campaign called romney reckless and amateurish when it comes to foreign policy so far the administration has stopped short of directly arming the rebels although washington is coronating the efforts of their allies in the region that is saudi arabia qatar turkey which are providing weapons to the rebels one way or another but those allies are saying. that they only provide smaller weapons that they would love to send heavy artillery but they don't have the green light from washington for that because reportedly the administration fears that the weapons might end up in the hands of terrorist experts say one of the reasons why the rebels are not settling down for a negotiated solution sort of dialogue is the signal that they get that sense that support is on the way that there will be an intervention and everybody now understands without a negotiated solution bloodshed will continue. meanwhile a b.b.c. film crew in syria has discovered the rebels are in possession of weapons crates meant for the saudi military the insurgents refused to comment on how they got the

shipment and no permission to film its contents this comes amid escalating fighting across the country was bomb blasts and firefights in damascus and turkey is stepping up its war rhetoric after six consecutive days of returning fire with syria in response to shelling some speculate as a provocation by the rebels political analyst dan glazebrook says the insurgents are desperate for foreign intervention. so it's a mistake a lot on this bid to oust. these guys own reasons for doing this on the one hand they're trying to give cover cover to the rebels to continue their fight they know that the rebels again defeated on the ground bombarding syria as a way to help the rebels not lose too many of their positions but i think also wants to please is kind of. nato nato masters in his bid to join the e.u. so he's been willing to do the bidding europe and the u.s.

britain france and the u.s. they may be helping the hoping that they can somehow climb knowledge nato into taking action as well and promising a kind of the blitzkrieg is that she the only thing really that would enable the rebels. fireworks jubilation at a fiesta atmosphere right now in venezuela this only means one thing president hugo chavez is there to stay and so are his plans for how to handle the country's economy including its enormous oil reserves and as are often of reports it's a strong reason for some painful headaches in the west. it's up to the top but maybe at odds with the liberation of the us one party that one treats we're. all here. to join in on. it's a victory that supporters say has implications far beyond this country's borders

talley's chavez is the father of south america all the presidents are friends among each other latin america understand the understand the significance of chavis for the world that's rising up from its knees for the world of equality for the world without the jimmy i am part without the gemini if you wish and that's precisely what makes many western governments nervous venezuela could be an example for other countries i mean here you have a country that is saying that the polarization of wealth which we see not just in one country not just in two countries but globally is completely toxic and must be addressed and that there must be a redistribution of wealth this is antithetical to what's been known as the washington consensus so in that sense the president chavez and is as a threat a threat that doesn't just hurt washington's influence but its coffers under chavez venezuela has refused to act as a market for u.s. based private investment and no longer can u.s.

oil firms rely on the country as a stable source of cheap crude venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves chavez has promised to ramp up production and slash this country's dependence on u.s. markets by doubling exports to asia according to the president that is why he represents a threat to the west. from the economic point of view we have the largest petroleum reserves in the world when the world runs out of oil and only five countries which possess the majority of reserves who are male and your mother was a russia iran saudi arabia iraq and even as well. its black gold could account for the vilification of chavez in the west after all just a year after he took office in one thousand nine hundred nine chavez toured the middle east to lobby key opec members to drive oil prices higher he also provided subsidized oil to cuba bella bruce nicaragua and syria countries whose relations with the west aren't exactly ideal for critics that is well under chavez is

a terrifying prospect. i think chavez is mostly criticized for his foreign policy first for breaking relations with traditional trade partners of venezuela such as colombia and the us and second for political alliances with countries which are considered as non-democratic and even belligerent in their foreign policy such as cuba and even more so iran. chavez says his world view is just one that the west is going to have to get used to i wonder at that an american. ally not a member of the labor get out your history by minimizing the losses. in israel as it was against new labor alyssum twenty years ahead of europe. which is happening now and venezuela did not need the i.m.f. we're not a world power yet a. lot of the power of the next six years play out one thing's for certain for now that's all this new world order it's here to stay is

a path in our hearts and. so haven't our t.v.'s our a sharp about turn it seems like more and more ukrainians are packing their bags to leave the e.u. for a better life back home we look at what's driving the mood after the short break. you can tell in ordinary russian siberia and the blink of an. anthropologist. those days siberians were different clothes different food. different animals. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny skyscrapers and shopping malls much like any other prosperous russian. so i decided to. a small town just outside.

dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia. with cabbage and making sure you can have as a starter main dish. although it may draw. most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting only if you decide to participate. when you look upon martin. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by.

its inhabited by. a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel. brochures but distinctive enough to show that the easy. says siberia still that's why it's like anywhere else.

welcome back you're watching r t you live from moscow with me marina joshing a trade dispute is brewing between washington and beijing the u.s. house intelligence committee says two chinese top companies should be barred from doing business in america and the report warns that the equipment made by telecom

giant who are away and more while manufacturers could be used by beijing to spy on the u.s. the two firms have stock back have struck back rather saying the document is actually aimed at hampering them competing on the american market and u.s. lucrative market for china as it's worth some thirty billion dollars but tim carr is seen director of strategy for free press says the rao could backfire on the united states. it's interesting to note that most computer equipment most telecommunications equipment is in fact made in china increasingly china is a player in the technology space and their ability to create cheap manufactured products should pose a threat to business interests overseas business that not so much a national security threat politics definitely comes into play here seen in both the romney and obama campaign an effort to get tough with against china this could very well be an outgrowth of that but also of concern is the idea of the

marketplace for cyber security with their estimates that i've seen that put this in multibillion dollar business so it's in the interest of a lot of these companies that provide cyber security services to inflate the fear it helps businesses that sell cyber security systems that sell systems that will allow us to protect against these alleged attacks it helps them make money so potential for this to have a blowback effect on the united states you look at american companies like cisco systems which is very invested in in in growing its business in china usually what happens when you have these kind of international controversies if the u.s. acts against a chinese company you could very well see the chinese government. act against a u.s. company on its own turf the european union has proved to be a real magnet for ukraine's migrant workers was wanted tanny employed in the bloc countries but as some nations to say and further into recession many are heading back home feeling the time has come to find a better life they're investigating the reverse in the trance. and goes to villages

with empty houses and few people on the street a common sight for western ukraine and it's not the result of any disaster. almost every family in the west of ukraine has a member working abroad ever since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. ukraine has been one of the main suppliers of cheap labor force into the european union as it stands over four million ukrainians are currently working in europe that's every tenth citizen of the country but this is changing yuri worked in spain for almost a decade before escaping the financial crisis and resettling back home at times he is in some gastronomical. and makes spanish style salami at home but yuri says there is no going back to. make good use of the money. i bought several stools and currently lease them i also bought a house twenty five kilometers from. my state in spain but i would have to work

like a slave. i can enjoy like many of my friends who stayed in spain and now out of work and planning to come back to. and he's far from the only one the real estate market in the western grain is seeing a boom in property sales all thanks to those running away from the collapsing euro zone. they may have thought of buying houses in the e.u. seeing how the crisis planck's those countries and are returning home of all real estate properties sold last year almost a quarter of the bonds were returned migrants there mostly by two to three room apartment with up to one thousand euros in the last two three months to learn more than a thousand families bought last year which makes around one hundred million euros worth of investment into property in just one of ukrainian regions the overall sum of european money ending up in ukrainian spoke it is even more astonishing last

year ukraine was able to receive up to seven. years dollars. currently working abroad. and that's coming from the country's worst affected by the financial crisis spain italy and portugal where many businesses have grown realigned on migrant ukrainian workers you might think their return home should benefit both sides but in reality economists believe this may spoke trouble for ukraine. we usually receive. from seven billion i would expect that should be on the level of. government from e.u. conscious to ukraine is needed to be supported and it's additional pressure for the ukrainian budget which is quite difficult to do when you have a limited amount of resources but you are even if the labor market goes into

meltdown it would not be as bad as it could have been if you stayed in spain the money he brought back has made him completely self-sufficient and. it was either at home or abroad. reporting from ukraine all right let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world and north korea says it has been listed missiles capable of hitting u.s. bases not only on the korean peninsula but also in japan and even on america's territory a statement was made by the countries the fans coming in response to the new deal struck between washington and sell they remain that stands the range of south korea's ballistic missiles by more than twice the current limit making it able to strike the north korea's arms pact with washington barred the south from deploying long range rockets leaving many targets in the communist state out of reach. just president pardons to all prisoners charged with supporting the revolution over a thousand people were arrested and put on trial at the beginning of the uprising

which resulted in morsi taking office this summer the decree is expected to cover all cases related to clashes with security forces during last violent year's. protests however it's unclear how many people will benefit from it. was happening a world business. where there isn't much good news for the global economy today what's happening that's exactly why we have the international monetary fund which is making its forecasts and it's saying that the global economy will weaken the situation might get even worse well first let's take a look at the european markets which just read in session and they're trading a little bit higher than the flood zone i should say they're getting just most there point two percent for the footsie and that backs up what is the early to say how the day will develop we'll see it all depends of course everyone's concern on the spanish as well as the greek financial health and nothing's changed there so

far but it will see how it develops throughout the day moving on let's take a look at what's happening with moody's because it's now downgraded yet another card through this thought as the ball writings of cyprus which were hit there were hit by three notches moody's a saw and negative outlooks through its ratings as well the agency says the move was due to profound difficulties in the country's banking sector which is the result of the two are rated conditions in greece cyprus is of course the main hope for russia's capital and last month moscow cited would join the e.u. countries to help the island which is seeking a total of twenty billion euros and. move in on the dispute in the british or russian oil budget seeing now has a new twist because at this time. russian partners all that venture which is a are considering selling their stake this time around now this would happen of b.p. sells its ports to rolls left something that local shareholders are all happy about

at the same time they are is not giving up plans to a large it's they could buy by inches from the british partners but b.p. says the company would consider new the process of selling that stake regard. the a r move now earlier the british royal for initiated talks to sell its half and russia's third largest oil firm and that was due to a shareholder. here and. the markets are developing and they're staying in posts territory hardly a surprise because oil prices are going the high and this of course very important for russia since it's very energy dependent the r.t.s. is getting over a half a percent this hour now let's stay with russia and talk about any other company and i'm talking about megaphone which is the country's second largest mobile phone operator and it's expected to announce its i.p.o. plants later in the day. or silence they newspaper says the firm will list the fifty percent stake in moscow and london on the first of november the move could to help the company attract more than a billion dollars. currencies now where they will strengthen against the

dollar and they're all from basket it's again in against the currency basket this ok this should say let's take a look at the asian markets where when it comes to the nikkei it's now closed and japanese investors were returning after a long holiday weekend and they sold out of commodity related forums and then hindsight has been one percent and that's how business looks the sour more stores will have those details on the i.m.f. for you next hour and all right. thanks very much indeed and just a few minutes max and stacey explain why you think bashing the bankers can never be enough that's actually the kaiser report. by horse. by tractor. by car where the road ends. as

that you had a hoodie or basta banks or today well we got an episode for you yes according to

our headlines it may be time to start hugging a bank star and bashing. stacey heard. yes max is there is it time to stop bashing bankers says the line headline of this paper the guardian but in the print edition it says is it time to start loving bankers oh yeah we love bankers long time. well i believe max you went out with the artist taxi driver to ask him this question because of his of course taxi driver what's going on in any city in the world here's what he had to say. on this show you some blood these days it's the plot of the bank responsible for the food banks this bloody good government is out of process in

a cell phone of pretty. vox populi the london taxi it's absurd to think that it's a period of banker bashing us come to a pause because we have not even begun to bash the bankers we will fight them in the trenches we will fight them it we're going to pass and they haven't even started yes days yeah but how dare they say time to stop that much of a sure. well this is what most of the comments on the guardian's website said along those lines but i want to point out that this is the former mayor ken livingston who is there white washing fraudsters criminals hard core criminals that have plundered the wealth of nations across the world who according to paul moore the former boss the compliance officer he said that hundreds of millions of people have been made poor because of the.
